<p><strong>Storylines</strong></p>
<p>94 Feet is led by some of the top talents across the state of Indiana. [player_tooltip player_id="868227" first="Kamari" last="Slaughter"], [player_tooltip player_id="868220" first="Ashton" last="Williamson"], and [player_tooltip player_id="1042493" first="D.J." last="Moss"] are some of the top players, and they have played well for 94 Feet all year. This is why they come in as the #7 team in the Grit Region. Look out for this team as they have the ability to be a top team in this tournament. </p>
<p>EG10 2023 comes into this tournament as the number 3 team in the Grit Region. They will be one of the best teams in Birmingham this weekend for sure. [player_tooltip player_id="935733" first="Bryce" last="Petty"] is one of the players that is playing up from 2023 to 2022. The guard from Park Tudor is playing with both EG10 2022 and EG10 2023, and he has played incredibly well with this team all year. Petty should be a player to watch in the future and in this tournament.</p>
